Elle: D.C.'s 10 most powerful women

Fashion magazine ELLE is taking a look at the world inside the Beltway this month, naming the 10 most powerful women in D.C.

“We’re looking for diversity, and certainly unique and powerful women, but also those women who have something going on right now and that are really sort of very much in the mix of things,” ELLE Editor-in-Chief Robbie Myers said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” where she unveiled the list featured in the new issue of ELLE.

Myers ran through the list Wednesday on MSNBC and spoke briefly about why women were selected for the list.

“Republican Sen. Susan Collins from Maine who, you know, is just such an interesting person but also really fundamental in helping break up the gridlock in Washington, D.C., around the shutdown,” Myers said.

Correction: A previous version of this story misstated some of the women featured on the list.
